Currently running clustered CouchDB v3.1.1 on an AWS EC2 Instance

I have moved the database directory to another drive on my VM. But can't find any on the documents regarding the files under /var/lib/couchdb/shards or .shards growing big consuming my root directory. Under /var/lib/couchdb/shards on one folder of 3 shards I have found that there were multiple files that are large mostly from the deleted database(s).
68M database1.1610087019.20210108.074010.deleted.couch

Does this have to be removed manually? I ran compaction on the said database(s) but no change on the disk size.
